George Heyman

Love music, arts, cats, the ocean.

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

Hate crime, violence, and intimidation is not in any way legitimate protest or political statement. Attacking places of worship or learning for a people because of their ancestry or faith is racism and hate. It must never be excused for any reason. https://t.co/ts5vmy7OYY

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

The divisive, racist attitudes and statements just keep coming - even on election night. We choose our political family. @PeterMilobar @elenoresturko @TrevHal @IanPatonDelta @Teresa_Wat @LDoerkson - Are these really the people you want by your side, the people you will support?

Conservative Leader John Rustad has condemned the statements by his candidate in a Victoria-area riding https://t.co/Q7oHcEGMzC

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

@PeterMilobar Will you put some action to your outrage @PeterMilobar? Will you sit in caucus with people spouting, hateful divisive views? What’s your bright line?

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

It’s not like this set of racist statements and views is one-off for Rustad’s caucus. There’s a frightening pattern here for people who ask to be trusted with governing B.C.

I’m deeply sorry to hear that Wendy’s volunteers were subjected to such racism. There is no tolerance for this kind of hate in our communities.

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

@elenoresturko was set to campaign against Brent Chapman’s extreme views and statements. Now she’s embraced him as a colleague. I can only interpret her silence as acceptance of fringe views and intolerance. Can the bar can go lower for her or John Rustad. #bcpoli #BCElxn2024

[Mike Starchuk @MikeStarchuk]

This is shocking - @elenoresturko knew about Brent Chapman’s views before she joined his team. In her own words, she called him an extremist and a conspiracy theorist. Is this why she’s been completely silent about his racism and his suggestions that mass shootings aren’t real?

[BC NDP @bcndp]

The stakes are high. While David Eby and the BC NDP are building hospitals, recruiting doctors, and hiring nurses, John Rustad is proposing a $4.1 billion cut to healthcare, making it harder for people to get the care they need.

[BC NDP @bcndp]

Made our own sign.

[Brenda Bailey @BrendaBaileyBC]

Go @SunitaDhirBC! Your campaign to connect with all of Vancouver Langara is so uplifting! Let’s bring real @bcndp representation to this riding! 🙌🏻

[Daily Hive Vancouver @DailyHiveVan]

BC renters are seeing the "largest annual decline" in Canada for one—and two-bedroom apartment costs. According to a new report, it's the lowest drop in three years.

NEW: BC Conservative candidate posted graphic instructing critics of Donald Trump on how to ‘kill themselves’

Graphic shared by the controversial candidate Brent Chapman featured imagery of handguns and violent suicide rhetoric

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

Our kids deserve better than John Rustad’s terrifying education plan.

He’ll cut lesson plans that include the science of climate change.

The BC NDP can stop it — but we need your help. Let’s do this together, for my kids, for yours, for future of our province. #BCPoli

[Josie Osborne 🇨🇦 @Josie_Osborne]

Brent Chapman’s views are fundamentally incompatible with serving in elected office.

That John Rustad has not fired this candidate is the epitome of weak leadership.

[Spencer Chandra Herbert @SChandraHerbert]

The BC Conservative plan to get rid of rent controls would push seniors, and many more out onto the streets. We need more housing (record numbers of new homes now under construction), and to keep renters secure in their homes.

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

Lots of good energy and good support for @SusieChant_nvs

[Bowinn Ma @BowinnMa]

Great evening on the doors for @SusieChant_nvs with @NikiSharma2 the Attorney General tonight! Was also wonderful to see @GeorgeHeyman out in North Van to support Susie as well.

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

Thoughtful, measured. And clear - just like the choice facing British Columbians this #BCElxn2024 @bcndp #bcpoli

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

This week I voted in the #BCElxn2024. I voted for @Dave_Eby & @bcndp & if you care about reconciliation & protecting what you love from a changing climate, I hope you do too. It was hard for me. Here is why I did it and why I think it’s important #bcpoli 🧵

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

What’s happening? Voting’s happening! #ivoteBC #BCpoli So much at stake!

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

Even 4 strikes is not enough for John Rustad to call Brent Chapman out! No principles or leadership here.

[Spencer Chandra Herbert @SChandraHerbert]

We’ve all seen BC Conservative Brent Chapman's racist attacks on Muslims and Indigenous people, and his offensive Holocaust comparison.

What hasn't had much attention yet is his horrific ‘joke’ about violence against LGBTQ+ people at Pride.🧵

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

First, I’m pleased and impressed that all the students stayed not only for the debate but for the follow-up discussion that ran over time. And their comments and observations were sharp, astute and very thoughtful. I’m heading home feeling optimistic about our future!

[George Heyman @GeorgeHeyman]

Close attention being paid throughout the room. Eager to hear students’ take and reactions

[Stewart Prest @StewartPrest]

Watching the BC Leaders' debate with a great group of students at UBC tonight, with special guest @GeorgeHeyman. Reactions to follow!
